Swanirbhar Nari Atmanirbhar Scheme is a stepping stone to success towards women empowerment. The worth of any Nation and progressive nature is judged by the place given to women in society. One of several factors that justify India’s ancient culture’s greatness is the excellent place granted to women. However, that is not the case today. Today, women’s status is deteriorating with passing time.
In the current scenario, women are subject to multiple atrocities and ill-treatment. India is a place where women are considered a form of Goddesses. But despite the amelioration of women’s status, the evils of illiteracy, dowry, etc., needs to be entirely removed to give them the right place in Indian society. Women’s situation deteriorated even more in the coronavirus phase due to the increased rate of domestic violence.
There is no denying that governments of various states and nations have made considerable progress in the last fifty years. Still, they have to struggle against many handicaps and social evils in our society. One such effort is from the Assam Government side in the Swanirbhar Nari Atmanirbhar Scheme towards women empowerment.
